What we like, and what we don’t
Worth having
- Identical flat 2% on everything, with no foreign transaction fee
- Six airport lounge visits a year once you enrol
- $2,000,000 of travel medical cover and rental car collision damage included
- The same fee waiver paths as the lower tier, at $100,000 in assets or $4,000 a month deposited

Watch out for
- It earns exactly the same 2% as the cheaper to qualify for Infinite + and costs exactly the same
- The marketing says access to 1,200 lounges without mentioning that only six visits are included
- Enrolling in the lounge programme is a manual step most cardholders will never take
- $2,000,000 of travel medical still runs only 14 days a trip and stops at 65
- Quebec residents lose the travel, trip and baggage insurance while paying the same $240
- $150,000 personal or $200,000 household income unless you qualify on assets

The earning fine print
Identical earn to the Visa Infinite +: flat 2% on all Qualified Spend, no categories, no published cap. Qualified Spend excludes cash-like transactions, refunds, fees and adjustments. Cash back is deposited to a Wealthsimple account with no minimum redemption and must be redeemed within 10 years; it is forfeited on card closure. The higher tier buys benefits, not a higher earn rate. A reader comparing the two tiers gets exactly the same 2%.

What the benefits really mean
Same $240 fee mechanics as the Infinite + ($20/month, annual billing in Quebec) and the same two waiver paths ($100,000 individual assets, or $4,000/month direct deposit). Qualification is broader than the marketing implies: $150K personal income OR $200K household income OR $400K in Wealthsimple assets OR $50K annual card spend. Travel medical is $2,000,000 but still only 14 days per trip and only for people under 65, an older traveller gets nothing. Trip cancellation/interruption is $1,500 per occurrence, $5,000 per trip for all insureds, covering trips booked after 1 October 2025. Delayed/lost baggage $1,250 combined ($1,000 delayed, $1,000 lost/damaged). Flight delay up to $1,000 per occurrence / $2,500 per trip, effective 3 February 2026. Rental car CDW covers vehicles up to $65,000 MSRP for up to 31 days and requires declining the rental agency's own CDW. Mobile device $1,000 per claim, $50 deductible, max 2 claims per 12 months. Purchase security $1,000 per occurrence, $10,000 annual max, 90 days. Lounge access is via the Visa Airport Companion program (1,200+ lounges) and Wealthsimple's own help centre states cardholders 'are entitled to 6 visits every 12 months', you must enroll separately; visits beyond 6 are chargeable and Wealthsimple does not publish the per-visit price. As with the Infinite +, the whole travel insurance suite is unavailable to Quebec residents. Marketing says 'access to 1,200+ airport lounges' with no number attached; the actual entitlement, buried in a separate enrolment help article, is 6 visits per 12 months, and enrolment is a manual step. SAME CONTRADICTION AS THE + TIER: agreement lists a $120/card supplementary fee, but Wealthsimple's help centre says additional cardholders cannot be added at this time. The Privilege tier earns exactly the same 2% as the cheaper-to-qualify-for Infinite + and costs exactly the same $240. The differentiator is insurance and lounge, not rewards. $2,000,000 travel medical sounds generous but is capped at 14 days per trip and cut off entirely at age 65. Quebec residents are excluded from travel medical, trip cancellation/interruption, baggage and flight delay insurance despite paying the same fee. Balance transfers are not offered on this product at all. Penalty pricing of 25.99%/27.99% applies after two consecutive missed minimum payments. Requires an active Wealthsimple chequing account; the card can only be paid from it.
Our verdict
The honest way to describe this card is that it is the Infinite + with an insurance upgrade. The earn rate is the same 2%, the fee is the same $240, and the waiver works the same way. What you get for clearing the higher bar is six lounge visits, double the travel medical limit and rental car cover.
That is worth having if you travel, and worth nothing if you do not. Because the fee is identical, there is no reason to prefer the lower tier once you qualify for this one. Just do not read "access to 1,200 airport lounges" as unlimited access, because six visits is what the terms actually give you, and you have to enrol before the first one counts.
